Penny
Ante helps to strengthen and maintain skills for speaking, listening,
reminiscing, critical thinking, communication, storytelling, and imagination.
Each card contains large print so that the words are easy to read. Just print
on card stock, cut, and laminate to start the fun. You may use a tablet or
computer, if printing is not an option to display each card.

Depending
upon how many people are playing the game, everyone will receive at least 10
pennies (or poker chips) and at least 25 pennies (or poker chips) are placed in
the middle or the “pot”. One person or each participant can take turns reading
what is on each card.

Each
card allows the participant to express their thoughts and opinions when
reminiscing or engaging in meaningful conversations. These themed Penny Ante Questions are loads of fun to play and triggers many reminiscent moments from that time period. Topics include things created or popular during that time period.

Extend
this activity by having brief conversations about the topic presented on each
card. For example, if someone has traveled to a different country before, you
would then ask: Where did you go? When? Who did you go with? Why did you go?
(Leisure, Work) How did you get there? (Boat, Plane, Train); also known as the
5 W’s, Who What, When, Where, Why and How.

This
activity can be completed by individuals with progressing dementia using some
scaffolding and support to the best of their ability.

Buy it once and use it for a lifetime.
